ABOUT ME

MY LEAN MANAGEMENT APPROACH

I use a combination of the techniques used in world class businesses and my own methodologies which I have developed through years of practical experience. They’ve proven to be simple yet effective ways to help develop businesses.

I consider myself to be very hands-on and like to lead by example. I bring lots of positive energy, but I’m also a very organised, balanced manager. I really enjoy strategic planning and strongly believe that careful planning now helps prevent disaster further down the line!

I like to really work in partnership with any business which employs my services and value every individual within the organisation equally. Change can be daunting. I’ll work with all your employees to ease any transition and manage change so everyone can appreciate the benefits.

I’m committed to a Lean Management philosophy and social responsibility.

Most importantly, I deliver on my promises. I will deliver practical steps that your business can take to achieve growth, efficiency and a positive culture.

MY BACKGROUND AND EXPERIENCE

I’ve made various statements on this website about how I can help your business. You might be wondering what qualifies me to pass judgement on what’s best for your business. Here’s a bit of background:

I’m from a multi-skilled, multi-corporate background. I have over 20 years’ experience in senior management in global operations, technical and after sales environments. During that time, I’ve been lucky enough to enjoy lots of global travel and have developed great knowledge of international cultures and business markets.

I strongly believe in continuous learning and self-improvement:

Lean Trained
